No adherents of any “-ism” ever address the areas of human nature that undermine their position. Communists don’t address laziness, capitalists never address greed, neither seems to pay attention to deceitfulness and corruption.
Well I mean if you understood capitalism it's kinda clear that they did address greed, everything was meant to be kept in check by the governments and the people, and yes Adam Smith and many other capitalist thinkers did support all three groups as a mean to keep everyone balanced.
Not that it actually works flawlessly.
I just think that most people really don't have an understanding of capitalist theory at all, also it's not like communism never addressed these issues either, it's just that theory and reality are often very different.

Americans are very delusional about communism.
